homeland secretary janet napolitano made a visit here. fema now here, red cross, the national guard. napolitano promising that staten island and other areas will have the resources they need for the long-term. in the meantime, just sandy's sheer force has left a mark on many people's lives. >> when i came home there was water coming down, my whole first floor and my second floor is destroyed. a group of men helped put down the garage door to protect it. it's uninhabitable. and else where around new york city, power is slowly being restored to sections of lower manhattan that was out. and in new jersey, destruction along the jersey shoreline will be long and slow process. the governor telling people, trying to brace them, when they finally get back to their homes, if they have homes, that they will not recognize their area and it will be a long haul ahead. also, alex, gas rationing starts in new jersey, beginning at noon today, and there will be long lines, no doubt, again. >> boats on the sidewalk as a backdrop. thank you very much, miche
